DescriptionThe Romanian Shepherd Dog is a breed of dog that originated in Romania. This breed was selected from the endemic breeds of dogs in the Carpathian Mountains. The Ciobanesc Romanesc Mioritic as the breed is otherwise known is a massive dog even made bigger by the attractive fluffy hair the gives the dog a giant teddy bear look. The white, pale grey or cream colored hair often fools the predators into thinking that the dog is one of the sheep. The wolves, bears and lynx will be taken by surprise when a lying Romanian Mioritic Sheperd Dog would suddenly sprint and accost the predator. Aside from the eye-catching appearance this dog is really valued because of its main role of protecting and guarding the herd from predators as well as protecting the owner's property from thieves.source of leed: http://www.sarahsdogs.com/breeds/roma...
